COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Block Check Characters
VALUE
LRCC
Checksum 256
Disable
When this parameter is enabled all data transmitted to host computer or Formula
terminal is completed by Block Check Characters that carry out a transmission check.
If transmission is successful the receiving instrument sends an ACK character. By
contrast if transmission occurs with a wrong checksum, the receiving instrument
replies with a NAK character.
It is advisable to always define the Block Check Characters when connecting host
computer to Formula terminal because this is the only way to check that data is not
lost
or
corrupted
"Communications frame").
Characters Delay
This parameter defines the time the Formula terminal waits before transmitting the
next character.
This delay must be defined as a one-digit number from 0 to 9 and is calculated as:
For example, set command data to "9" to obtain a Delay of 0.45 seconds:
SERIAL COMMAND
0 = 30
16
1 = 31

none = 20
